Do any of you use the romulator for tuning?
How well does it work on the fly?

I use the romulator and it works fine, but when you make changes it doesn't perform a bumpless transfer. Sometimes a small change is OK, but larger changes like several cell changes will cause the engine to hiccup. I now use Craig Moates "Ostrich" which allows me to load any number of changes without the engine even noticing. Changes are immediate and bumpless. One great device, it has worked flawlessly since I have purchased it. The romulator works well in abouit 90% of situations. So far the Ostrich is 100%!

I have both. Have had problems with Romulator. The Ostrich works WAY GOOD on my 1985 with 870 ECM, simply awesome.
